Child calls 911 in West Bethlehem killing: 'My dad shot my mom'

It was a chilling call by a child that alerted Bethlehem police that a city man killed his wife on Tuesday, according to court records.

One of Win Min Htut and Thida Myint's children called 911 about 3:45 p.m. and said, "My dad shot my mom and took my 3-year-old sister," according to court records.

A witness told city police that Htut came that afternoon to the couple's house in the 300 block of Central Park Avenue. Within minutes of entering the house, the witness said, Htut chased his wife and three children out, knocked down his wife and took a small child, records say. Htut was then seen throwing a gun before fleeing with the child, records say.
